CHAPTER 870: CHAPTER 870

Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Yang clenched his fists. It was Sister Juan again.

Who on earth is this person? Everything is related to her.

Liu Xuan was equally shocked; she had almost been used by this Sister Juan before.

Thinking back on it now gave her chills; this Sister Juan was truly terrifying—ruthless and highly cunning, understanding how to manipulate people.

The most outrageous thing was, how did she find Zhao Xuemei?

With this question in mind, Zhang Yang asked directly.

Zhao Xuemei also didn’t know how it happened; it was just that suddenly a stranger added her contact information.

She hadn’t originally paid attention to it, but this person, Sister Juan, revealed all her secrets.

Setting up a public persona, secretly abusing her paralyzed husband, and cuckolding him, frequently bringing men home—sometimes one or two, sometimes three or four at a time.

Zhao Xuemei agreed to these terms partly because she was threatened and worried her secrets would be exposed.

And partly because she genuinely wanted to get rid of her paralyzed husband.

At this moment, Zhang Yang’s expression changed, and he urgently asked Zhao Xuemei, "When did Sister Juan say she would take care of your husband?"

"That was not told to me; she only said that once I finished my task, I wouldn’t have to worry about the rest."

Zhang Yang thought this was a bad sign and immediately started the car.

However, as he was leaving, Zhang Yang rolled down the car window and said to the confused hundred men, "You all should harm others less outside and get medical treatment if you’re sick."

"I’ll cover the medical expenses."

These people did help him today, and Zhang Yang was willing to pay the money to return the favor and because he truly didn’t want these people to hurt others.

This was also the responsibility and conscience that a doctor should have.

Sun Bingrou nodded, satisfied and gratified with Zhang Yang’s approach. In contrast, Zhao Xuemei really didn’t deserve to be a doctor.

Some of those one hundred men listened to Zhang Yang’s words, while others just sneered, but these were matters Zhang Yang couldn’t control. At most, he’d report back to Jiang Meiren to deal with these people properly.

Unable to say much more, Zhang Yang dared not delay and drove back to Zhao Xuemei’s residence.

He regretted it somewhat in his heart. If he had known, he wouldn’t have brought Zhao Xuemei out and would have dealt with things directly at her home.

But Zhang Yang also knew he could guard against temporary issues but not permanent ones.

Now he just hoped they could make it back in time, hopefully catching the killer in the act to trace further.

Zhao Xuemei, seeing Zhang Yang’s intent, immediately said, "Why go back? Let’s not go back; just let him die."

Zhang Yang ignored Zhao Xuemei, but Sun Bingrou couldn’t help asking her, "Did your husband do anything to wrong you before he was paralyzed?"

"No," Zhao Xuemei replied honestly.

But then she sneered, "Dean Sun, you don’t need to lecture me. It’s often said that there are no dutiful children at a sickbed, let alone we are just husband and wife, not blood-related. I’ve taken care of him for almost two years. The hardships and bitterness of it, only I know, none of you do."

"One should not advise others to be good without enduring their hardships."

"I admit, I am a despicable person and unworthy of being a doctor."

"That’s because I see no hope; I’ll be dragged down by him for my whole life."

Sun Bingrou knitted her brows, "Then why don’t you just leave?"

"Because my husband was so good to me before, everyone around knew how good."

"Where could I go after leaving? My work is here, my family is here. After leaving, I’d also be pointed at, being told I’m ungrateful and heartless."

"Am I really supposed to be criticized forever? I have no choice."

Zhao Xuemei nearly broke down at the end.

Sun Bingrou was momentarily speechless; that saying actually wasn’t wrong, one shouldn’t advise others to be good without enduring their hardships.

But for Zhao Xuemei’s actions, Sun Bingrou truly couldn’t agree.

This was definitely not the only way to solve the problem. The main cause of this outcome was likely related to Zhao Xuemei’s inability to withstand loneliness, committing too many unconscionable acts.

Zhang Yang rushed back to Zhao Xuemei’s home at the fastest speed, but unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

When he returned, Zhao Xuemei’s husband was already dead, died of suffocation, but it looked like suicide.

Seeing her husband really dead, Zhao Xuemei was suddenly stunned.

The next second, she burst into tears because, at this moment, her mind was full of all the good her husband had done, scenes of their past love.

When did it all begin? It seemed a male neighbor harbored improper intentions toward her, starting to fervently flirt.

Once there was one, there would be a second one...

Sometimes they would engage in wild activities right in front of her husband, seeking excitement together.

From the initial guilt to later excitement, finally, Zhao Xuemei completely fell.

But seeing her husband truly breathless, only then did Zhao Xuemei realize how outrageous her wrongs were.

Sun Bingrou sighed long and hard, then said to Zhang Xue Mei, "You should surrender yourself."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang suddenly made a major discovery.

It was an inconspicuous piece of paper, but it was placed in the most conspicuous position.

Zhang Yang picked it up and saw that it was a note specifically left for him.

"Zhang Yang, are you surprised? Shocked? You still arrived a step too late."

"The game has just started; I’m Sister Juan. I’ll wait for you to find me; if you do, I’ll give you a big reward."

This was a blatant provocation, and Liu Xuan leaned over and also saw these words.

Before Zhang Yang could react, Liu Xuan was already upset.

"This is too much, these people are so arrogant."

"But following the pattern in TV dramas, usually their luck ends here."

She patted Zhang Yang’s shoulder, "I have a feeling that things will soon take a turn."

Zhang Yang couldn’t help but smile wryly, this girl really loved watching TV dramas, didn’t she?

Though she had been quite accurate earlier, right now, Zhang Yang hadn’t a single clue; this Sister Juan was obviously premeditated.

Not only was her network extensive, but she was also full of devious tactics.

Zhang Yang couldn’t see where the breakthrough was, but he didn’t expect his phone to suddenly ring at this moment.

Liu Xuan immediately got excited, "Here it comes, here it comes, I told you so."

Zhang Yang tapped Liu Xuan on the forehead, "I haven’t even taken the call yet; what are you so happy about?"

"Then quickly answer it." Liu Xuan urged.

The call was from Jiang Meiren, and Zhang Yang answered, only to hear Jiang Meiren say, "Zhang Yang, the Brother Blade you mentioned to me today has been found."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang instinctively looked at Liu Xuan.

Was this girl’s mouth blessed? She actually called it.

Liu Xuan also heard it, and her face was full of proud satisfaction, "See? Didn’t I tell you?"

That Brother Blade was the person the two Ancient Martial Arts experts at the pharmaceutical factory had mentioned; finding him might just lead them to Sister Juan.
